Classic Amaretto Sour

The story behind

The Amaretto Sour is a cocktail staple known for its sweet and sour profile. As seen in the image, the drink features a thick, smooth white foam head, a result of emulsifying with egg white or aquafaba. It is served in a crystal rocks glass that adds a touch of retro elegance, traditionally garnished with a dehydrated lemon wheel and a maraschino cherry floating on the foam.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Pour the Amaretto, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white into a shaker without ice.
  2. 2
    Perform a 'dry shake' vigorously to create the foam seen in the photo.
  3. 3
    Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled.
  4. 4
    Double strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
  5. 5
    Garnish with the lemon slice and cherry on top of the foam as shown in the image.
